Jose Mourinho has warned his Manchester United players they need to start scoring more goals.
The Manchester United manager feels that his squad need to ease the workload currently on striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with United’s top 4 rivals heavily outscoring the Red Devils so far this campaign in the Premier League.
“I have to agree with you that we don’t score enough goals,” said Mourinho. “Some of our players from these attacking creative positions they could – they should – score more goals.
“I understand what you are saying. We attack so much and with so many players, and so many players have the freedom in our dynamic to reach scoring positions.
“When you see the number of goals we score, there is not a true relation between our attacking production and the number of payers we put in attacking positions and the number of goals we score.”
“When you speak about Zlatan’s goals you should always add 14 goals and one penalty in 31 matches played in England in all competitions. You should always add that extra item.
“In almost every team the striker is the top scorer, I think so, unless you have another player with a special feeling to score goals coming from another position or you have another player scoring six seven or eight goals from penalties that is normal to happen.”
“We are in the same position we were before that game,” Mourinho said. “We didn’t get the three points we wanted, so it’s simple.
“It was a bad result for us but it’s exactly the same position which is try to win the next game. That’s what we do for a long time
“Every draw we deserved a victory. We never had a draw where we could say we were lucky, we got more than we deserved. Always less than what we deserved. But the reality is the reality of the points and we lost the points.”
